Why does the ABS light on the CFMOTO NK250 keep staying on?

The constant illumination of the ABS light on the CFMOTO NK250 may indicate a fault in the Anti-lock Braking System. Introduction to ABS: ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) prevents wheel lock-up by using sensors installed on the wheels to detect impending lock-up. The controller then commands the modulator to reduce hydraulic pressure in the wheel's brake cylinder, decreasing braking torque. After a brief interval, the original pressure is restored. This cycle repeats rapidly (5-10 times per second), maintaining wheel rotation while maximizing braking torque. In vehicles without ABS, hard braking causes rapid wheel deceleration. When braking force exceeds tire-road friction, wheels lock completely. Locked front wheels eliminate steering control, while locked rear wheels often cause skidding. ABS Performance Characteristics: ABS enhances safety during emergency braking. Non-ABS vehicles risk complete wheel lock-up during panic stops, rendering steering impossible and significantly increasing danger. Single-channel ABS typically controls both rear wheels using the select-low principle. While this configuration doesn't always shorten stopping distances (as it doesn't fully utilize rear tire adhesion), and doesn't prevent front wheel lock-up (maintaining steering limitations), it dramatically improves directional stability during braking since rear wheels won't lock. This safety advantage, combined with simple construction and low cost, makes single-channel ABS widely used in light trucks.
